Pt 2428

Follow a snow gully right of the central buttress. Above the buttress, move slightly left to gain a deep, narrow runnel and follow it to exit 20m right of the summit. A cornice that forms at the summit can be bypassed on good steep rock.

A long rock route on the south face of the south-east outlier of Pt 2428. Begin on a pedestal on compact grade 12 rock and climb directly towards the left side of the summit overhang. At mid-height, traverse right along a ledge, then climb the upper wall on a system of small features leading towards the left end of the top-most overhang. Fine, sustained climbing on excellent rock with steady climbing on the last pitches providing the crux.

From the summit of Mt Brown, traverse several towers to reach Pt 2428m.

A snow-filled gully angling up to the upper snowfield can be sighted from low in the valley of Freds Stream and provides rapid altitude gain. Cross over a small shoulder and angle up the north-east facing slopes to the summit.

From Waterfall Hut follow the north branch of the waterfall stream to reach the west ridge. Continue along the ridge to the high point.
